A Progressive Warrior Queen-Isn't That an Oxymoron?


In case you don't know the story of Boadicea (Boudicca), in a nutshell it goes like this.

Boadicea's tribe, the Iceni, lived peacefully as a client tribe under Roman rule. After her husband's death corrupt Roman officials reneged on the agreement that left the Iceni in peace. When Boadicea, still the leader of her tribe, went to protest this, she was flogged and her daughters were raped before her eyes.

She returned to her tribe and raised a rebellion against the Romans that was short lived, brutal, and ended in her death.

Understand, I'm not looking to raze Colchester, or leave piles of bodies behind me. However, the Radical Right Religionists and the Corporate sponsors of the Chattel Society have declared war on us who are "others".

 
I say we fight back.  Right now, I'm fighting back primarily at Texas Kaos. Please come join me.

The Boy Scouts Have Their Standards

Nice to know that the battle against gays in the Boy Scout Organization was being fought by such an honest, upstanding example of manhood:
Boy
Scouts of America’s National Director of Programs Douglas B. Smith will
appear in a Dallas courtroom tomorrow to face charges of distributing
child pornography, according to reports by NBC News.


At one point, Smith served as Chairman of the Scout’s Youth Protection Task Force, according to a website operated by the Western Alaska Council of the Boy Scouts of America, RAWSTORYQ has discovered.

In addition, Smith was one of 42 recipients of a Distinguished Service Award, presented to “Arrowmen who have rendered distinguished and outstanding service to the Order on a sectional, area, regional, or national basis. It is given primarily for dedicated service to the Order and Scouting over a period of years.”
Hmmmm, I'm hoping that they mean servicing in an other than Guckertly way. (Warning: images on link not worksafe.)

All snark aside, this abomination of the male species is accused of distributing child pornography. I hope for the sake of Scouts everywhere that those pictures did not come from any BSA interactions.
